just one of the "gang"

Dared to venture out into the frozen "tundra" here, now sitting in a cozy, sunny spot,
drinking my "James Gang" coffee.  Paying homage to the Jesse James' history here in good ol'
Northfield: in a bank robbery attempt by the James Gang in 1876, local citizens went after the
robbers and several members (although not JJ himself) were caught and the bank robbery was stopped.  In fact this event is such a notable piece of history the town has a whole "defeat of Jesse
James Days" festival every September!
